What is Dalgona Coffee?
Dalgona coffee or whipped coffee is a drink inspired by the Indian beverage, Phenti Hui coffee. The drink is made by whipping up instant coffee, sugar, and hot water until it creates a creamy foam topping to add to hot or cold milk.
Since many of us are at home more than ever and skipping trips to the coffeehouse, it’s the perfect time to experiment with recipes to create the best coffee drinks that we love.
To make whipped coffee you only need a few simple ingredients. You might even have everything you need for a Dalgona recipe in your pantry.
The only slightly uncommon ingredient is instant coffee. You cannot make whipped coffee with regular coffee grounds – it has to be instant.
You can top the foamy coffee whip onto hot or cold milk. This recipe is for an iced Dalgona coffee.

Recipe Notes and FAQ
Can you make whipped coffee with regular coffee?
Yes, but it takes some work. Pour a scoop of coffee beans into a grinder or blender and grind them as finely as possible. After that, sift the grounds through a fine-mesh strainer. Use the fine powder that falls through the strainer to make whipped coffee.
Why is my whipped coffee not whipping?
You’re not using enough ingredients. It’s difficult to whip small amounts of anything because you need enough to be able to effectively whip air into it. You can also try using a smaller container.
Why isn’t my whipped coffee fluffy?
You probably didn’t use enough sugar. Sugar is what makes this coffee so light and fluffy. If you try to reduce the sugar, it will take longer to fluff up and it will collapse very easily.
How long does it take to whip Dalgona coffee?
It usually takes about 3 or 4 minutes to whip up your coffee.
What type of milk should I use in whipped coffee?
Use any type of milk or milk substitute you like. Almond milk, macadamia milk, or whatever you prefer should be equally as tasty.
Can I make flavored Dalgona coffee?
Flavor your Dalgona coffee with cocoa powder, vanilla extract, honey, cinnamon, and more. Get creative with the flavor combos!
